Sea bass with browned butter sauce. Looks EPIC, takes not time at all!

Sea bass is such an awesome fish. It has a clean delicate flavour, and when served simply like this, with a brown butter sauce It is superb. I say it's a sauce, but really it is just butter, but when It’s cooked like this, it takes on this nutty flavour which goes really well with the fish.

Of course I didn't stop there, I cooked up some grilled prawns (shrimp), some nice garlic chilli tender stem broccoli and some simple sauteed potatoes. The other great thing about this sea bass with browned butter? Is it looks a bit 'posh', but actually it comes together super quick, and everything cooks at the same time!

To make my sea bass with browned butter you will need:

  • 2 sea bass fillets

  • About 200g of fresh raw de-veined prawns

  • About 350g of new potatoes
